Black Hole Witch

August 14, 2021August 14, 2021 Megan Coleman

I’m a bad bitch, stay low to the ground witch, made of ground stone and bone motherfucker, bleed snake skin and vermouth.   I was born under a watching eye: teeth, moon, armless spiders are my kin.   See me sizzle against your skin, erase time from our coordinates, etch Read more

December 10, 2018December 10, 2018 Megan Coleman

Just Turn On the Light

February 2, 2018May 7, 2019 Megan Coleman
